Offbeat Songs at the Marsh Berkeley With Jetty Swart

The Marsh Berkeley presents an evening of music, comedy and accordion with Jetty Swart, a one-woman dynamo from the Netherlands whose performances have been described as "a cabaret gypsy party where Nina Hagen, Edith Piaf and Kurt Weill meet." Singing in three languages (English, French and Dutch) and accompanying herself on a multitude of instruments (including accordion, flute, toy piano and music box), Swart delivers fanciful, offbeat songs about forbidden love between a subway rat and a train engineer, the amorous adventures of a hermaphrodite mollusk, and possibly even a Michael Jackson cover.

Reviews & Ratings

Letty (French and Dutch) is very personable, and chatted with people as they arrived. I am glad there were a lot of people in the sweet small venue, cos they were enthusiastic. So were we. Her songs were funny, poingnant, and pointed! The Slug, The Walsheimer, and the lips songs were especially wonderful!
Bring her back!
